No worries on the question mate but this really needs to be in the Transmission room......To answer it most 6's have quite a heavy clutch. My Mum's c2 feels like it hasn't got one when I jump out of the 6 and into the c2... But if yours is solid "as in you can't move it" then  something is wrong.________________________________________ Team ChinaTeam Pirelli Team Cracked Bumper 92k 20th Nov 1999 she was born |

So many threads on this...All 306 clutches are relatively heavy, GTi6 being the worst as it's the biggest. ________________________________________ '99 1.8 XS - Sold'00 GTi6 - Killed by armco '01 Cabriolet 1.8 - Sold '96 Eunos Roadster 1.8 Import |

Cable normally the problem along with other parts of the mechanism needing greasing (noT possible with the box in place)  ________________________________________ Nothing to see here |

It could well be just down to ware on the clutch plate, I found mine was very stiff before I changed it, I tried the cable first which made little difference then the clutch. Even though though the clutch wasn't slipping I think a little ware causes them to become heavy which I believe is alot to do with the push type design of the one piece clutch cover and release bearing.If I changed mine again I would fit something like the old MI16 pull type clutch plate/cover bearing, you would also need the shaft that acts on the bearing and probably an old type clutch cable, I never had any problems with this set-up (GTI-6 box and MI16 engine in a 306). ________________________________________ Previous Peugeot - 2000(w)GTI-6, Me old China, Supercharged with working aircon! |

IMO it depends.Most GTi-6s I found have a heavy clutch. Mine was quite light compared to all I drove but not quite as light as a hydraulic clutch like the Focus etc. My Meridian is slightly heavier than my GTi-6 was. If you do change the clutch change the Pivot bushes. An overlooked part that takes seconds to change (and grease) when the box is apart. ________________________________________ Ex Owner of 2000 Phase 3 306 GTi 6 China Blue - You shall be missed1974 Triumph Stag 1989 Peugeot 205 GTi 1.6 2003 Alfa Romeo 147 JTD Lusso 2005 Mondeo Ghia X 3.0 Estate LPG |

Don't grease the fork bearings. The heat is too great and it will just dry up and make the fork even stiffer.Even a high temperature grease will dry eventually as it isn't sealed. ________________________________________ Rich |

I'm pretty sure it's the fact the cable is so close to the ehaust and causes the cable to become tight . I know that's the case on the hdi .. I have a gti 6 engine in my 106 and it's fine not hard at all . Could be a coincidence I dunno |
